H-1B visa system allows US employers to hire foreign workers who are specialized and qualified enough for the job. There are approximately 500,000 H-1B workers in the United States, spanning various specialty fields, including STEM, healthcare, education, and religious leadership.

H-1B petitions are granted based on the worker’s specialized knowledge and academic credentials, with over a third of H-1B workers employed outside the computer technology industry.

Currently, the Congress-mandated annual statutory cap for H-1B visas is 65,000, plus an additional 20,000 available only for individuals who have earned a master’s or higher degree from a United States institution of higher learning. In total, the H-1B visa cap category allows 85,000 visas to be issued to foreigners annually.
